Caveat Emptor

"The FDA has warned consumers not to use a product called Miracle Mineral Solution -- which makes broad health claims -- because it's actually an industrial strength bleach"

Jim Humble (the perpetrator of this fraud) says: "[Miracle Mineral Solution] overcomes colds in an hour or so, overcomes flu in less than 12 hours, overcomes pneumonia in less than 12 hours, cures more cancer than any other treatment by hundreds of times, cures hepatitis A, B, and C. It cures appendicitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and a hundred other diseases."

Cancer, flu, pneumonia, appendicitis, hepatitis, RA and a hundred other diseases? I can't believe that supposedly rational and educated people buy this crap, and that the US government permits some psycho aerospace engineer to maliciously poison random citizens.

 

I think that we should hunt down Jim Humble and feed him to fire ants. That's an EC that I'd be proud to discuss with the admissions committee!

This is even worse, if you can believe it:

Apparently, Consumers Report just came out with a list of the 'dirty dozen' - a list of health addatives that actually do harm to the body and the FDA has no jurisdiction in this multi-billion doallr industry, so the harm continues with the government doing absolutely nothing.
